Postcolonials: Confronting Neocolonialism (1993–2018)

Abstract

‏A set of approaches to sociology, which has emerged since the 1990s, is related to Israel’s neocolonial situation—namely, its lasting domination of the Palestinian Occupied Territories , which it captured in 1967, and related social and cultural aspects of the protracted Israeli-Arab conflict and of Israeli society. This chapter diagnoses three such approaches: A radical Mizrahi counter-orientalist sociology; Palestinian sociology in Israel; and the sociology of the Occupation.
